National Organizer of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Sammi Awuku, has denied vehemently ever recommending by verbally or written, the recruitment of Bright Akomea aka ‘Double’ into the National Security Operation.
According to Sammy Awuku, although he has known ‘Double’ for nearly 12 years, he absolutely had no hand in the security operatives, getting the job in such a sensitive institution.
Speaking on Kasapa FM, Sammi Awuku stated that ‘Double’ is educated and currently schooling in a tertiary institution in Accra, but he resort in speaking Twi because he wanted to expressed himself better.
“Double’ speaks English, but maybe he chose to be cautious and spoke in a language that he will be very comfortable when he appeared before the Commission of Inquiry which has the powers of a High court and also a Commission of records. Anything you say can also be used against you in the court of law. So if I were him, and I am comfortable with the Dagbani language, I would have spoken that so that I will be free. I know ‘Double’ speaks English, I can also tell you that currently, he’s schooling in a Tertiary Institution here in Accra,” he disclosed.
'Double' has been accused by Ningo-Prampram MP, Samuel George, of being among the National Security operatives who fired gunshots towards a crowd during the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-elections on January, 31, 2019.
Sam George also alleged that 'Double' was a member of the pro-NPP militia group, 'Invincible Forces'.
Bright Ernest Akomea, also known as 'Double' has debunked the claims by the Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram that he was a member of the 'Invincible Forces' before being recruited into the National Security.
However, taking his turn at the Commission, 'Double' said he joined the National Security two years ago and prior to that he had never been a member of any vigilante group.
He further indicated that "I was a mobile phone dealer prior to my recruitment".
'Double' spoke local dialect, Twi, throughout his session with the Commission of Inquiry.

Our official language is English. Commonsense should tell you we have more than 46 local dialects being spoken in Ghana. How many people understood these dialects of a different tribe? Stop this stupiiiiidity and lets face the reality. Nobody is rating our local languages inferior over a foreign language but the question is will you understand if someone speak in Ewe, Dagbane etc. In your post you couldn't even say local languages but simply language which means you think every Ghanaian understood the local language the guy spoke during hearing, boy grow up.
Sammy please don't respond to idio*ts, they will never stop their st*upidity when you respond to their nons*ense! ndc are behaving like a drowning person and clutching to straws the panic,fear and anger in them will make them drown with any one who offers help! just leave them to go alone don't entertain their frustration! Ghanaians have come to realize they have no message, no vision, no policy nkwas*easem nkoaa so we are damn tired with them and don't see any seriousness in them so don't tow their dying lane they are in denial and will bite hard at any finger that mistakes into their mouth! Leave them to struggle and just keep off ! What Ghanaians want to know and hear is the good things this government is doing not a dying horse who want attention!
Is it a crime for someone to speak our local language in a public forum? We are making this seem like a foreign language is superior to our local language in the name of politics but I hope this is not the case.
